The school year is in full swing, and the holidays are just around the corner—which means life is about to get even busier. I’ve noticed that when I plan my menus and shop for groceries based on the upcoming week’s meals, I’m far more likely to get dinner on the table. When I don’t plan ahead, we tend to eat out or grab a pizza. I’m committed to cooking more at home, so I need recipes that are simple, quick, and delicious.
We could all use easy, tasty meals to add to our dinner rotation. This broccoli chicken stir fry is absolutely amazing—you have to try it!
I love recipes that combine a main dish and a side all in one. The broccoli and mushrooms are sautéed to perfection, and every bite is bursting with flavor.
This dish was incredibly simple to prepare and will definitely become a regular part of our dinner rotation.
